Theresa May has pledged to publish a draft bill next week to put a price cap on energy bills.

Delivering her keynote address at the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester today, she said the “broken” energy market “punishes loyalty with higher prices”.

She added: “The most loyal customers are often those with lower incomes, the elderly, people with lower qualifications and people who rent their homes, those who, for whatever reason, are unable to find the time to shop around.

“That’s why next week, this government will publish a draft bill to put a price cap on energy bills, meeting our manifesto promise and bringing an end to rip-off energy prices once and for all.”
